Name: School: Michaela Dunn lucknow Age:   Answerd on:   8 31/3/2003 Question: What types of fruit grow in Navy's village? What is the big green fruit? Answer: Navy's village has the following fruits: jackfruit, cocount, mango, banana,sugar palm fruit and tiger fruit. Tiger fruit is like a small pineapple with a red spicky skin and white melon inside that is dotted with seeds that look like poppy seeds. The big green fruit I'm not sure what you are referring to. If it is photo 10 on the poster than that is mango. Otherwise it might be a green coconut.

Answer: While most homes do not have their own toilet there are community toilets for people to use as the people now understand it is not hygienic to go just anywhere. The type of toilets they are where you squat over the toilet rather than sit on the toilet. You can read the story AJ investigates toilets to see a diagram. Name: School: Hannah Smith Lucknow Age:   Answerd on:   8 31/3/2003 Question: Where and how do you have a bath? Answer: In Navy's village most people have a bath somewhere discrete around their home. They do this by using a bucket of water to wash themselves with. Some people might go down to the river to bath. They have a clever way of washing without really ever getting undressed. Name: School: Amy & Savannah Lucknow School Age:   Answerd on:   8 31/3/2003 Question: How do you get to the market? Have you ever been to the capital city? Answer: You get to the market by walking. Because each village is not so big it is never very far away. Navy and her brothers have probably never been to the capital city. It is a long way if you are too poor to afford transport and have to walk. By car it is about two and half hours.
